It was first published in 1984 as a newspaper and continued in that form until 2008, when it was redesigned as an A4 magazine with a greater emphasis on lifestyle features than previously.[2] During this time, Ian Macare became the first disabled person to edit a British disability-focused publication.[3] In 2012 it moved to an online only format, with the last print edition in September 2012.[4]
In December 2016, Scope announced the closure of the then-online only publication[5] but would "continue publishing DN-branded content on its own website".[6]
